Description
At 11.30 a.m. on Saturday 12 August 2000, two massive explosions rocked the Arctic waters of the Barents Sea. The Kursk, pride of the Northern Fleet and largest attack submarine in the world, was hurtling towards the ocean floor. Journalist Robert Moore vividly recreates this disaster minute by minute. Moore delves into a covert world where the Cold War continues out of sight, investigating the military and political background to the tragedy. He also tells the poignant human story of families waiting ashore, desperate efforts of British, Norwegian, and Russian rescuers, and the Kursk sailors trapped in the aft compartment, fighting for survival as the world watched their battle unfold. This gripping account is both heart-breaking and humane, offering a harrowing glimpse into one of the most tragic maritime disasters of the 20th century.
